Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Hey everyone, a little help here. Very new to this whole cryptocurrency. So as of right now I just use coinbase as my wallet. Wondering what other wallets are recommended, ease of use and versatile. And if buying ICO's where to store them or best place to keep them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanx.

As what others saying coinbase and all web wallets are only good for storing some funds that's not really huge, and if you have huge amount to store then desktop and hardware wallet is a must to secured your funds.

And if you are asking about an ICO wallet, then you can see it to their main thread or ANN thread, its either a web wallet or a desktop one.

Coinbase... Well as the first guy said online wallets are not the best choice. If you want a light wallet that doesn't use much space on your computer I will recommend Electrum. If you want a full wallet use Bitcoin Core. Both are good and secure choices. I personally use Electrum as Bitcoin Core takes too much space on my computer. I would recommend Electrum: https://electrum.org/#home

You can transfer your coins in your bank account or store them in your wallet, it is depends on you on what do you want to do with your coins. You can still store them in your wallet so if bitcoin value increases you coins will also increase. 😁

First step: Get out of coinbase as fast as you can and if you really need to use a website, use something more reliable like blockchain.info or whatever. Coinbase is becoming notorious for being aggressive when it comes to closing accounts based on a small law or event with little time given to consumers to change their provider. They were involved in some closures recently for 2 US states.

As for ICOs it depends on the token/coin provided itself. There is never really a catch-all for ICOs in my experience. A pain in the ass, but expected.

Welcome to the crypto currency world. I hope you have a good experience with this amazing innovation. Coinbase is a time tested wallet and been around for a long time. So you can trust them with a small amount of holding. However, if you are planning for big amounts, I will suggest you to use hardware wallet.

Electrum lite wallet si my recommendation because you don't need to download the whole blockchain to use that. I also use blockchain wallet for storing some funds because I trade heavily during weekends. So for small amounts, use online and for good amount of funds, use hardware wallet.

Don't do that!
Move your coins somewhere safe, coinbase is just a website that can dissapear/get hacked or steal ur coins.
I recommend Electrum (software wallet) or Multibit. These are fast client without need to synchronise full.
